*Check out this beautiful DeArmond Guitar! A unique and special guitar. Harry DeArmond invented the first commercially available attachable guitar pickup sometime in the 1930’s.. To market his invention he teamed up with Horace ‘Bud’ Rowe’s Company, which was located in Toledo Ohio. It was there Rowe/DeArmond pickups, effects and amplifiers were manufactured.

*To promote the sensitivity of his pickups, Harry DeArmond developed a tapping technique, sometimes playing two guitars simultaneously. This method was later adopted by Jimmy Webster, Gretsch‘s designer and endorser, and popularized forty years later by players such as Steve Vai and Eddie Van Halen.
